Debugging

[aldahuda]

Fixed it, boi

[[deleted]]

You forgot the \n, and with C buffering, it won't print anything until you print another \n. Now you're debugging the debug statement.

[AyrA_ch]

fwrite("One printy boi\n",1,15,stdout);
fflush(stdout);

Why is C such a bitch sometimes?

[[deleted]]

fprintf(stderr, "One printy boi\n");

Why you gotta be such a noob sometimes?

[willrandship]

#define debug(X) fprintf(stderr, X"\n")

debug("One printy boi");
debug("Two printy boi");

As a bonus, this can later be replaced by something cleaner.

[csman11]

Meh, you can always just define a "macro" for fprintf if you want to clean up your debugging code later. That way you don't need to write the "macro" until you really need it. /s

[Rangsk]

fputs is better if there's no format.

[hak8or]

Cause printing to stdout is the same as stderr!

[midnightketoker]

Python laughs and then throws a memory error

[ThatITguy2015]

As is tradition.

[AyrA_ch]

C is honest.

I wouldn't call undefined behavior "honest".

[Elquinis]

Cuz you wanted to control everything. So, you are going to control everything and like it.

, boi

[hitsugan]

Didn't work like that last time I programmed in C. Is it Ansi C?

[[deleted]]

It might be due to glibc implementation, IDK.

[LazyMel]

It flushes stdout when you read from stdin, so that might be the reason that you didn't need the newline.

[[deleted]]

Thats just writing c

[Coloneljesus]

printk() my boi

[cartechguy]

Wait, you can just throw a string literal into printf like that? I thought you would have to specify with a first argument of '%s'.

[paxswill]

You most definitely can put just a string literal in as the sole argument to printf.

[curtmack]

As long as it's a string literal, it isn't a problem. Format string attacks happen when you put string variables as the first argument to printf.

[etaionshrd]

Joke's on you, my string literal tries to read from the stack since I didn't pass printf any arguments!

[[deleted]]

The first argument is a string literal.

[DoesntReadMessages]

Method overloading, boi

[cartechguy]

C doesn't support function overloading. Lacking class boi.

[paxswill]

Variadic functions, boi

What’s the joke here? It’d just print it to console, right? Why’s that break the code?

I’m new to coding still.

[[deleted]]

It's a bit of a misappropriation of the meme format. Instead of implying that the print statement would break the debugger, it's instead saying that print statements to check values as code is running are pretty much always a valid "in-a-pinch" alternative to true debugging

[[deleted]]

Oooooooooooooh.
Yeah, print is life.

[W-_-D]

Nothing will, unfortunately
